herdstown folks retired last Friday
night it was raining slightly, and the
weather was not very favorable, it SEEM
ed, for decoration day. But when the
aforesaid folks arose Saturday morning
they found the sun had risen too, and
was shining clear and serene on the
lovely landscape, while cool and gen.
tie breeze waited refreshing odors on
the morning air. The day was per-
feet one, and the memorial services that
took place were the most impressive and
earnest that have ever been held. AT
two o'clock the procession formed in
front of Shepherd College. TWAS headed
by the Shepherdstown band, after which
marched twenty Confederate veterans,
followed by citizens in carriages and
afoot. At the cemetery the band played
solemn dirge as the old soldiers with
uncovered heads marched slowly around
the graves Of their fallen comrades. The
line was then drawn up in front Of the
speakers stand, and Rev. A. a. p. Neel
made a touching prayer. Col. w. A.
Morgan, marshal Of the day, introduced
Congressman VIM. l.. Wilson, OF
Charlestown. Mr.. Wilson'S duty was
that of introducing the gentlemen who
were announced for addresses. In in
PRODUCING the first speaker on the pro-
gramme Mr.. Wilson made short but
earnest and eloquent talk, paying high
tribute to those who slept the last long
sleep just i'm front of him. His words
rose to a height of earnestness that
thrilled his hearers, the intentness with
which he was listened to showing how
greatly they appreciated what he said.
AS he introduced Rev. DR.. Hopkins, Of
Charlestown, he spoke of him as cour-
ageous an manly chaplain of the old
Stonewall Brigade-one who was to be
found at the front, where shot and shell
were thick. and who never shirked his
duty. DR.. Hopkins then made an ad-
dress, which was one of the most sensi-
Bile and practical that we have ever lis
tened to. Someone has remarked that
DR.. Hopkins never said Il foolish thing
in his life-certain it is that bis address
Oh this occasion was very pearl. Al
though he spoke as one who wore the
gray and was not ashamed of it, ut the
same time he is now defender of the
stars and stripes, and is proud OF that.
His address was of the earnest, forcible
kind that touched responsive chord in
the heart of each who heard it. After Dr..
Hopkins had finished, Col. III. X. Douglas
made one of his characteristic speeches,
in " hich he told with eloquent words
of the new South and the new North
that to-day make united country. Col.
Douglas is always welcome speaker at
Shepherdstown. and he was listened 10
with interest by all. Capt. Lee ii. Mo
Ter next read the roll of honor, and the
exercises closed with Il benediction by
Rev. d. II. Moser. The graves were
then strewn with flowers, several very
handsome designs being placed about
the monument, while every grave had a
floral remembrance placed upon it. The
exercises throughout were marked
with solemnity and decorum that was
truly in keeping with the occasion, and
the true spirit of memorial day was car
ried out. One of the pleasant features
was the excellent music furnished by
the Lutheran choir and the Shepherds
town Cornet Band.

ment The fourteenth annual Com
nencement of Shepherd College was
opened OH Monday night last with an
address before the Parthenian and Cice-
roman Literary Societies by the Rev. 4.
B. Reynolds, Professor of English in
the West Virginia University. He took
for his subject, "Some popular fallaeies
in regard to education" and treated it
in his own peculiar style, making some
forcible hits at the prevailing opinions
of the day in regard to the education OF
youth. At the conclusion OF the adj
dress, a very handsome boquet was pre-
sented to the speaker by Miss Sally
Miller in behalf of the societies. The
exercises were opened with prayer by
the Rev. ID. NJ. Moser Of the Lutheran
Church, and closed with the Benedic-
ton by Rev. III. C. Mcdaniel, of the NJ.
E. Church.
Tuesday night the exercises OF the
graduating class were held and the
church was crowded to its utmost Ca
pacity. Tile exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev. A. A. p. Neel of the
NJ. Z. Church South, followed by vocal
music from the school, singing, "When
the mists have rolled in SplenCor." The
first essay was by Miss Susie G. Terrell
on Words" and she was followed by
Miss jeanne Wysong with an essay on
"Greatness." After music by the Silver
Cornet Band, MIR. F. NJ. Logic delivered
an Grafton oil "God i'm History" and
Miss Lucy Schoppert read IN essay on
"Home." The school then sang "Ho!
Reapers of Life's Harvest" An essay
on well Done" was then read by Miss
Eta S. Porter, and an Grafton on "The
Influence of Revolutions delivered by
w. S. Hammond. The band again fav-
ored the audience with fine music, after
which Professor Woofter, the Principal,
introduced the six members of the
graduating class to the President of the
Board of Regents, the Hon. b. >. Nor
gan, who delivered the diplomas and
conferred upon the class the degree OF
Normal Graduate and gave them some
parting advice in regard to their future
course in life. Messrs. Ohley and Wiley,
two other members OF the Board, were
called upon for speeches, but excused
themselves on account of the lateLess of
the evening, AS they had to 60 to Mar
tinsburg to take the train for their next
appointment.
NOT ON THE PROGRAMME.
Just AS Professor Woofter was about to
announce the conclusion of the ex-
ercises, Professor Bush, his as istant,
stepped forward and said that there was
one name that had been omitted from
the programme aud that Mr.. Enoch ii.
Vickers, IL worthy member of the col
legc, had Il few words to say. The
young gentleman then stepped forward
and in few happy remarks, presented
i'm the name of the young men OF the
school to the Principal very handsome
gold-headed cane, and at the same time
some one handed to Professor Bush
book and to Miss Laura Strider, the
lady assistant, very handsome boquet.
Thus all were taken by surprise. The
recipients, in feeling and appropriate
terms thanked the donor. The class
then sang "Father, now our tasks are
done," and the exercises were closed
with the Benediction by Rev. A. "A. Z.
